Fuck TS, all my homies on MSN Messenger

trslim ,

I enjoy teamspeak solely for Arma 3 ARCE and TFAR

Mikina ,

I used TS for the first time in like 15 years litterally two days ago, funny timing.

Yeah, I lost EVE. Again.

Bahnd ,

I still self host my TS3 for my nerd herd, and as an EvE online player (currently trying to win, but thats hard), you have to be fluent in all voip solutions as they all have different requirments and say a lot about your group.

Discord - small group, utilizing free services, may have an auth tool, used to keep in contact with people from old groups. Remember kids, if the product is free, you are the product

TS3 - mid-sized group (100-1000 players) requires a real IT team, will have an authentication system and generally will have their shit together. Ease of set up is handy, but admin user accounts can break servers.

Mumble - Welcome to the big leagues. (1K+ players) The resources you require now require resources in meat-space and are rather substantial. You need real IT security and people on a payroll. It will drive your admins nuts for about a week setting everything up, but once its done, you wont have to touch it again.

Ventrilo - old school WoW player…

Manifish_Destiny ,

How would mumble take a week to spin up?

Bahnd ,

There is a difference between having it turn on and hardening it against DDOS attacks while haveing 500 nerds try to use it as coms for massive videogame fights (this has happened, its against the games rules, but it has happened). If you can do that in a day, please empart your wisdom.

Mikina ,

Serious EVE players are something else. The mention about IT security isn’t a hyperbole, some EVE players take the espionage meta-game very seriously, and even though it’s not only against the rules but also illegal, that’s not gonna stop them. I mean, once they literally got someone to turn off electricity for a whole town just so they can win a fight (I tried to find a link to the article, because I’m 90% sure I did read about it somewhere, but I can’t manage to find it anywhere, if anyone has a link. Maybe it was just a rummor, or an unexecuted plan?)

Bahnd ,

Yah… That used to be me… I try to keep in touch, dip my toe in the pool every year or so, go to the conventions and such. Almost 10 years ago I wrote my alliances auth system in Ruby on Rails, included those identicons you see as the old default profile pictures on github as the avatars on the internal forum and you couldent change then. The reason for this was that the token for the icon was your name and the posters mashed together so if a screenshot leaked we could reverse lookup who said what.

We never actually caught any spies with that, but that was the level of paranoia and planning that went into a crappy mid-sized group, in the game of today there are actual armies of 10k angry nerds. They are much more casual about it though, which is healthier for the players.

What about Skype though?

qqq ,

Me who started with Roger Wilco: •.• >.>

Frostbeard ,

Multiplay.co.uk stopped offering servers, and Discord was all new, bright and shiny so we switched to Disc. Was sad to see it go tbh

Hootz ,

Used teamspeak untill me and my crew switched to mumble. They all use discord now though so fuck the traitors.

interdimensionalmeme ,

Been on mumble over a decade, I can’t imagine why anyone would want to use discord. Although there’s something fishy about mumble.com

Kalladblog ,
@Kalladblog@lemmy.world avatar

Only a matter of time before Discord does a Reddit.

Hootz ,

Pretty sure they have already started. There’s been controversy with discord doing shit in the past that was leaning that way.

wookiestackhouse ,

I’m absolutely still using teamspeak. Nice and light, and it let’s us run a soundboard plugin that let’s you have unlimited length audio clips. I just wish they’d update the plugin to support the 64-bit version.

Team skeet moment

No joke last time I launched team speak was scary lmao. I didn’t have my server anymore so my buddies and I joined a random one. As we were chilling and gaming random people joined in and called us the n word and then left over the course of our session lol definitely felt like a 360 CoD lobby

KillingTimeItself ,

drop version 5 and people might start fucking using it again.

Mumble even though it’s literally dead, is a better platform.

Matrix and XMPP both support this shit also. This is literally a skill issue.

At a glance it looks like Mumble is not dead at all, latest “preview” release is from last month

KillingTimeItself ,

i dont think the software is “dead dead” but i think it’s dead from the aspect that it seems to be stagnant, which to be clear, isn’t a bad thing. It just feels a little bit like it’s still 2012 everytime you open mumble.

It’s a tad bit disappointing, considering i love it so much. But i don’t think anything else will properly replace it.

toastal ,

Here I am self-hosting Mumble for friends & using Mumble at work. Old tech was built to actually be good on resources.

rmuk ,

+1 for Mumble. I set up a load of Android PoC devices with a Mumble server and it’s honestly like having walkie-talkies that work over the Intertubes.

toastal ,

My phone has extra buttons, so I use the camera shutter for hardware push-to-talk

feedum_sneedson ,

I have no idea what any of you are talking about and it’s great!

snugglesthefalse ,

We use it for additional comms in foxhole, can’t be in multiple channels at once and we’ve got about 8 groups that need to communicate between each other

Sleepkever ,

You can easily do that with some extra key bindings and channel commanders/whisper groups

snugglesthefalse ,

Yeah that’s what we do, whisper lists for everyone who needs to do inter-section Comms. Everyone else is just in the discord channels. It’s not perfect but it’s worked for years now

If you didn’t play EverQuest with Roger Wilco, don’t even talk to me about voice chat.

Well, here I was, wondering when EverQuest had added the protagonist of Space Quest to their game at some point, taking an embarassing amount of time before realising what this is actually saying.
